Portuguese diplomat José Cutillero, known for his role in the peace process in the former Yugoslavia, died in Brussels at the age of 85, his wife Anjesia Lusa announced.
In the 1992s, Cutileiro became famous for his chairmanship of the peace conference on the former Yugoslavia in XNUMX, and he also served as the secretary general of the Western European Union, reports the Portuguese portal Obregador.
In 1992, the Portuguese diplomat was the coordinator of the peace conference for the former Yugoslavia, during the Portuguese presidency of the EEC, and in 2001 he was appointed as the special representative of the UN Human Rights Commission for BiH and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
In 1992, Cutilero, together with Lord Peter Carrington, proposed a plan to resolve the crisis and prevent war in BiH, and the plan envisaged the creation of three constitutive national units, whereby Serbs and Bosniaks would each receive 44 percent of the territory of BiH, and Croats the remaining 12 percent.
The leaders of all three parties in BiH, Radovan Karadžić, Alija Izetbegović and Mate Boban, signed that document on March 18, 1992, but Izetbegović withdrew his signature ten days later, after a meeting with the American ambassador to the FRY, Warren Zimmerman.
